Vorm, Aurier, Sanchez, Wanyama, Sissoko, Lamela, Alli

With Kane looking unfit I’d be tempted to go with something similar to Chelsea in the 2nd half but with this:

.............................. Lloris ............................

Meh/meh..... Sanchez... Verts..... Davies

.................. Dier.......... Dembele ..............

Moura.............. Eriksen ............... Son

........................... Alli ..........................

I see poch has come out with some unnecessary comments again as he has done before other cup games.

'It will be fantastic for Southampton, Chelsea, Manchester United or Tottenham if we will win the FA Cup but is it going to change our lives? I don't believe so. But it's not about need or don't need."

Just stay positive poch, we want to win the fucking thing. The players do need a trophy, listen to their interviews FFS.

I just do not understand why he cannot keep this kind of shit to himself, the only effect it is going to have is negative.

I think Pochs thinking is to create a sustainable quality club
For hom the FA cup would be great to get but he is thinking I think of the level we ate at generally.
With that he would go bananas if we beat United.
He just wants us to play his system to its fullest I think.

5 at the back is the way to go
Mourinho will target the gaps
We shouldnt have any
We can beat them by attrition
We are physically better

You and all the journalists are missing the point. Winning the FA Cup will change nothing in terms of perception of the club. Will the club, players, fans love it? Of course! But the only competitions that will affect the kind of change the media is getting at, are the PL and CL.

No not for this but maybe for a sub if we need more firward movement
I would try to contain United with our physicality so Lamela,Dele,Dembele would better to start and Eriksen pulling the strings.
Need more creativity put Moura on with Kane and Eriksen and Dele
Need more defence put Dier on with Dembele moving to CM

We can’t not play one of Moura and Son as everyone else is one paced...like City where we played a team of sloths and got mauled.

  • 2Walker
  • 9Janssen
  • 14Nkoudou
  • 17Sissoko
  • 27Wimmer
  • 30López
  • 33Davies

That was our bench for the semi-final last year, we bought on Walker and Nkoudou. At least with Moura and Lamela we have a couple of players who could swing the tie if it's not going in our favour.

Really looking forward to this game, I don't often get to watch spurs much like I used to due to work but I finish at 4.45 tomorrow so it'll be a mad rush to get back to the depot and cash in to get home for kick off. I'm off Sunday so I'll be on the sauce as well. Coys

wing backs? That'll mean more sideways passing and no Son. No thanks. 4231. If Kane turns up, we have a good chance.

Right now we have slowbacks
Well they are not the best but for me its best to contain United with 5 at the back and get Dele/Eriksen/Kane/Lamela to create a little bit if magic

Moura and Son can cime on later
And Dier available off the bench to defend a lead

The system is the system better stay safe with this one..contain and hit

they'll be happy to let us have the ball. Our high line gives me the willies though, Sanchez can get caught ahead of the ball and sometimes Lloris comes, and sometimes he stays at home...

You mean to kick it off?
With 5 at the back we have wingbacks

I’d hardly call them wing backs, neither can beat their man and both have one speed - snail pace. Aurier is Aurier - a fruit loop. If we’re not reliant on them for defending and are playing Dier as a DM, then we may as well play Moura and Son instead.
